Made a tent for my classroom by putting a dark blanket over a table and adding twinkle lights (and of course I had to add a switch to make it interactive for my S’s to turn the light on and off) PoplarTreeES ATS FCPS The tent has been a HUGE hit!

While playing with Lego Duplos, I modeled colors for a student on their device.I also paired this activtiy with a low tech TD Snap visual so we could add more words like you, I, want, you go etc. This activtiy was so much fun and my student ❤️ it! ATS FCPS PoplarTreeES

Used LessonPix to make a First/Then board for the kiddos in Mrs. Bowen class because they like taking toys from my classroom—happy to share, but first they have to work! 😂ATS FCPS Mandy Walter PoplarTreeES

A student in my class spontaneously told me this today on their eye gaze—I replied ‘you want to eat me?!’ The student replied with lots of smiles and giggles—never a dull moment in my classroom PoplarTreeES ATS FCPS 😂

While watching J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter movies, my son told me ‘Harry Potter reminds me of Master Jae because Harry is a great teacher like Master Jae’ Teachers you truly make an impact!!

During art with Art with Mrs. Williams while making scarecrows, I added red ribbon to make this project visually and tactile appealing for my s’s with CVI—it was a hit!! #UniqelyYou PoplarTreeES

It was fun being the ‘Throwback Thursday’ on our morning news show PoplarTreeES this morning 😂

While working on cutting skills with a student I was told ‘I want…’ and instead of responding right away to them, I waited to see what this student would say next…they followed it up with ‘stop, go go’! This is why wait time is essential! ATS FCPS Ashley Kiley

Love it when my s’s independently use a new AAC device to make a request (drink) and seeing how happy they are when their voice is heard! ❤️ Ashley Kiley

What a truly awesome thing to witness today!! #Eclipse2024

❤️ collobrating with Ashley Kiley!! Look at our friend go! Paired real life pictures with the object. This student not only sat, he was engaged, pointed and pulled off the picture of the item he wanted, and I modeled core words ‘want’ and ‘eat’ on a TT8!

Love watching my communicators grow and learn! This kiddo requested ‘eat’ for the first time on their own (and he is sitting and attending!!) ❤️ crying happy tears!! 🥹 Ashley Kiley beyond proud!! ATS FCPS

Thank you ATS FCPS for making sure all our amazing AAC users continue to have their voices heard during ESY!!
